HON. s. P. ROUNDS.

In the death of Hon. S. P. Rounds the
country loses valuable citizen and the
Art Preservative of All Arts one of its
brightest and most enthusiastic cham
pions. The bent of his life was towards
making more perfect in all its details
the art of printing, and this country is
largely indebted to his enterprise and
genius for the high standard of excel
lence printing has attained to as a fine
art. Mr.. Rounds life was full of bust
ness activity; he left clean record, and
his memory will be revered by all who
love purity of character and manly de-
meanor.
After Mr.. Rounds retired from the
position of public printer at Washington,
a little more than two years ago, he
joined Mr.. II. L. Taylor of this city and
purchased the Omaha Republican, since
which time he has been intimately con-
nected with that paper. and under the
new management the Republican speed
lily took rank amongst the leading papers
of the country Mr. Rounds died at his
post of duty; his remains were returned
to his former home, Chicago, for inter-
mont

dence games and bunko swindlers are
permitted during the continuance of the
Fiesta. In former years great numbers
of tourists above referred TO were daily
taken in and cleaned out by city sharp
ers whom they would have looked on as
beneath their notice in the scale of intel
lect in their native eastern cities. Here
tofOre, whenever an American excur-
sion struck Paso del Norte, the Ameri-
can CONSUL, Judge Brigham, was kept
busy interceding with the Mexican police
to get gold watches and well filed purses
rescued from the bunkoes. This winter
there is nothing of the kind.
Today's fights went off with the usual
eclat. only one bull, however, being
killed and one horse severely injured.
This evenings dispatches were received
at the local railroad offices that at least
two excursion trains bound for Califor-
mia would come in during the night and
that the tourists all wanted to lay over
during Sunday and go across the river
and see the fights. There are from 600
to 100 persons on the two trains.
The California excursions on the Mis-
souri, Pacific Fort Scott Route all stop
at FL Paso one day, giving passengers an
opportunity to witness these famous
Mexican sports. The next excursion via
this route will be Thursday, December

ONLY NINE BUNDLES OFPAPER.

| The Topeka Capital tells the Wichita
| EAGLE that it lies about its circulation
! TO avoid any chickering's, the Times will
! send a competent man to count the crcu-
/ lation Of each and make it known to an
anxious state.-Leavenworth Times.
If the Capital was guilty of any such
blunder it carefully refrained from
sending the EAGLE its particular issue
containing it.
But, if the Capital was 50 foolish as to
run its head in such a moose it must
take the consequence. Last spring the
editors and proprietors Of all the Asso-
ciated Press dailies of Kansas met in the
EAGLE official except the editor and
proprietor of the Capital. These gentle
men visited the EAGLE counting room
and press room. Some OF them inter
viewed the foreman Of the press room.
One Of these gentlemen was Colonel d. r.
Anthony, one of the very Oldest and
most experienced newspaper men in
Kansas. Since that time has re-
tired from the business and
consequently can have no further direct
interest in the matter of newspaper cir
culation. The EAGLE will leave it to
Colonel Anthony or to him and any two
or three other gentlemen composing that
association to say if in their judgment
the EAGLE has not at least twice the cir
culation of the Capital.
At that time we believe we were only
printing nine bundles of paper daily on
a two-revolution cylinder press. Now,
Major, put up or shut up.
The Capitals kicking over the EAGLES
circulation reminds us of the Hoe print
ing press outfit of New York. The
EAGLES business manager wrote the
Hoes to know what would be their price
for a perfecting machine. Hoes smart
Alec man sat down and answered that a
country daily, printed on the confines of
the buffalo range, had no possible
use for a perfecting machine
and then advised us to put on a Cranston
Or Potter two revolution. The very next
day or two one of Hoes agents happened
along. Noticing two cylinder presses
struggling with the EAGLES circulation
he suggested that we buy a perfecting
press. He was told that probably we
would. He went on to New York and
the next day the EAGLE forwarded an
order for Scott machine. The Hoe
agent On arriving home suggested that
the EAGLE would have to have a fast
press. Then came the denouement of the
EAGLES letter and the answer to it.
After some loud cussing over such ig-
norance the agent was started by the
next train back to Wichita to secure the
order. He was too late
The ignorance of the Hoe press house,
IN New York, however, is more eXcusa-
bic than that of Major Hudson.

Odd Notes

1t is reported in railway circles
that the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railway has decided to make Colorado
Springs, instead of Denver, the terminus
OF its Colorado line.
There will be a united effort on the
part of the people of Mitchell, Osborne
and Rocks counties next spring to draw
the Rock Island in those counties. They
are among the richest and grandest
counties of Northwestern Kansas.
One fact about the Missouri Pacific not
generally known is that ii is fifteen and
a half miles shorter via that line from
Pueblo to Kansas City than the Santa
Fe, and sixty-two miles shorter to St.
Louis. The road is one OF the best con-
structed in the west.
Railroads have largely superseded
rivers in the transportation of passen
gers and as common carriers; and they
do not hesitate to compete with the
oceans. On Saturday the California &
Oregon railroad was completed and
opened up for business. In the future

freight traffic that has gone by ocean
steamer from San Francisco to Portland

SEMI-BIOGR APHIC.

Kansas lily NISI
A current item states that Senator
Plumb. of Kansas. began life as a gro
Gerry clerk. This is mistake. Plumb
was brought up III the nuture and adj
monition of a printing Office, and much
of his early education was acquired
through the practice of the ''art pre-
sentative" He brought the material for
the publication of the Emporia News to
Kansas i'll 1851. and it was hauled from
Lawrence to EmpOria on an OK cart.
His associate III this enterprise was Hon.
Jacob StOttler, editor of the Sumner
County Press. and president of the
Kansas State Board of Charities. Plumb
will go through a pile of exchanges
quicker than any man in Kansas. He
knows all about making newspaper
from the washing of the forms to writ
ing a leader on finance. and could go to
the case today and earn livelihood by
setting type. His first muscle was de-
veIoped by pulling Washington hand
press. and if Plumb ever entirely throws
aside the manifold cares which make
such large drafts upon his time, 1t
is when he renews his youth in the con-
genial atmosphere of printing office.

RAILROAD ITEMS.
How We are Growing.

state Journal
The growth of Kansas is truly mar
yelOus. Our own citizens hardly appre-
ciate its extent and progress. A short
time since we gave figures showing that
this state had built more miles of rail
road this year than any other state In
the union. Kansas has 5000 miles of
railway, and is outranked now by only
two states, namely, Illinois and Iowa,
both of whom we are quite sure to pass
within the next two or three years.
In 1886 the rank of Kansas in railroad
mileage was seventh, now we have
jumped to third place.
The only competitor we need fear is
Texas, the great empire, and there is
even no good reason for thinking that
she can outstrip us IN the extent of rail
road building.
The following is the State Journals
compilation of present railroad mileage:
including the construction in the various

NO CAMPAIGN ABUSE,

LeaVenWOrln ll1ICS.
The Wichita EAGLE commends that
part of the address of President Foster.
of the National League of Republican
clubs, in which he declared that the Re-
publicans should ignore mud-slinging in
the coming campaign. The Times
heartily comedies with the EAGLE.
More Democratic candidates have been
helped than hurt by the efforts of the
mud-machine. Time was when Demo
cratic and especially independent SANDER
injured Republican candidates. General
Grant was Injured in 1871 and again 1870
by a conspiracy of independent and sen
sational correspondents and editors to
ruin him and to discredit the Republican
leader before the country, but intelligent
people learned after time how false and
malignant these attacks We're. Republi-
cans have not been innocent in this re
gard. 1t is too much the custom to be-
gin the campaign by hostility and abusing
the opposition candidates-to repeat old
ISLANDERS and invent new ones Doubt
less many of the personal charges are
true: but at the present time the public
does not heed them. and it is safe TO say
that in 1888 such stories will have less
influence than in the past. The public
and party record of candidates is fair
subject for criticism, but beyond that. in
the light of experience. it may be said
that the personal assault of candidates
has not helped the Republican party.
In the pending campaign the Republi-
cans have enough in the record of the
party to which they are opposed and in
the platform of principles to which they
are devoted to win the fight. Let us
show our faith in our cause by going be-
fore the country with arguments instead
of personalities. Let our papers and
speakers trust to facts rather than mud.

To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle
WICHITA, Kan, Dec 81, 1887.
1T Makes Me Tired, is the heading of
an article recently published in the
EAGLE, written by John Kelly, which ar
ticle makes farmer tired TO read. He
apparently wishes to defend the farmers
good sense by asking Don't you believe
they (the farmers have sense enough to
know a good thing when they see it" |
suppose they have about an average
amount of sense with people in other
callings, but they fail to see a good thing
for them in voting a tax of $500. 900 on
the taxpayers of the county to build a
new court house and jail at present. Just
at the close of two partial crop failures
with all our other increasing obligations.
He says. again, They will readily see
that TO encourage all such enterprises
will eventually secure TO themselves a
home market that will consume all the
grain and stock they can produce
and thereby save about one-third
of +all they raise on the farm.
that heretofore has gone to pay freight"
1t certa6nly would take a farmer with a
large brain and sharp eyes to see how the
building of such an extravagaut
court house at present would accomplish
the above. Again. don't forget the
fact that the present court house and
lots are worth about So. 000 and as soon
as the new building is completed the old
one can be sold and the debt reduced.
etc. But will it be: That is an inn
portant question? No: it viii not be
done. If you vote 5000 600, that amount
will have TO be paid. There is no
proposition TO turn in the present proper
IL. Don't be fooled on that Do give us
a rest on this whole bond voting business
until we can at least have a fair crop and
have something TO sell to pay taxes with.
Hope tax-paying farmers viii vote
against it.
And to the many. voters who pay no
tax, don't vote a burden on others that
YOU do not help to bear. The present
Jail NAV not be fit for mule barn.
but many farmers think it about good
enough for violators of law. and IL they
